The CoAx-8 delivers professional coaxial driver performance for musicians and sound engineers building custom speaker cabinets or replacing worn components. This 8-inch coaxial design combines low-frequency and high-frequency drivers in a single unit, ensuring consistent sound dispersion across your listening area.

With 200 watts RMS power handling and 400 watts peak capacity, this speaker manages substantial amplifier output while maintaining clean reproduction. The coaxial configuration eliminates phase issues between separate woofer and tweeter components, delivering coherent sound from a single point source.

The pressed steel chassis provides reliable mounting stability, while the paper cone with cloth edge surround offers natural midrange response. At 96 dB sensitivity and 8-ohm impedance, it works efficiently with most amplifier configurations. The frequency range extends from 40Hz to 3kHz, covering fundamental frequencies for vocals and most instruments.

This speaker fits applications from stage monitors to PA cabinets for bands, DJs, and venues accommodating up to 200 people. It works well in custom-built wedge monitors, side fills, or small to medium PA enclosures where space constraints favor coaxial designs over separate component systems.

The 7 1/8-inch cutout diameter fits standard cabinet designs, with eight mounting slots for secure installation. You'll need speaker wire appropriate for your amplifier connection and cabinet design.

Seismic Audio backs the CoAx-8 with a one-year warranty and ships direct to your location. Professional-grade components at accessible pricing for serious audio applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size venues can this speaker handle?

The CoAx-8 works best in venues up to 200 people when used in properly designed cabinets with adequate amplification. For larger spaces, consider multiple units or pairing with subwoofers to extend low-frequency response. Its 96 dB sensitivity provides good efficiency for medium-power amplifiers in club and small venue applications.

What amplifier power do I need for this speaker?

This speaker handles 200 watts RMS, so amplifiers between 150-300 watts RMS at 8 ohms work well without risk of damage. Lower-powered amps around 100 watts will drive it adequately for smaller venues, while the 400-watt peak rating provides headroom for dynamic musical content without distortion.

Can I use this as a replacement driver in existing cabinets?

Yes, if your cabinet has a 7 1/8-inch cutout diameter and at least 5 inches of mounting depth. The eight mounting slots and standard dimensions fit most 8-inch speaker cabinet designs. Check your existing speaker's impedance to ensure compatibility with your amplifier setup.

Do I need a crossover with this coaxial speaker?

No external crossover is required since this is a coaxial design with built-in high-frequency driver integration. The internal design handles frequency division between the woofer and tweeter components. This simplifies cabinet construction compared to separate component systems requiring external crossover networks.

How does this compare to separate woofer and tweeter systems?

Coaxial designs like the CoAx-8 offer simpler installation and consistent point-source dispersion, making them ideal for monitors and compact PA applications. Separate component systems typically provide wider frequency response and more precise control, but require crossovers and more complex cabinet design for optimal performance.
